The Kansas City Chiefs held onto an early lead and overcame a big night from LeSean McCoy to improve to 3-0 with a 26-16 win over the turnover-prone Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football in Andy Reid's return to Philadelphia.

SportsCenter provided Reid's immediate thoughts following the game:

"I can tell you I enjoyed every minute here. I'm enjoying my time in Kansas City." - Andy Reid

It was a turnover party for the Eagles early on, as they dug themselves in a 10-0 hole less than four minutes into the contest. A muffed punt return by Damaris Johnson led to a Chiefs field goal, followed by an Eric Berry pick-six on the following drive.

The Pro Bowl safety corralled in a tipped Michael Vick pass and took it 40 yards to the house. It marked the first time in 96 passes that Vick had thrown a pick (the NFL's third-longest streak at the time).

CSN Philly's Reuben Frank provided Vick's take on the game:

Vick: "I take sole responsibility for what happened tonight. I didn't execute."

However, the Eagles wouldn't waste much time striking back, as Vick completed a 22-yard touchdown to Jason Avant. A failed two-point conversion left the score at 10-6, but it was a 61-yard scamper from Vick that stood out from the drive.

CSN Philly pointed out it was the longest of the quarterback's career.

Vick ripped off a 24-yard rush in the very next drive, but a third first-quarter turnover for the Eagles—this one a botched snap—gave the Chiefs yet another opportunity to put points on the board. However, Ryan Succop then missed a 51-yard field-goal attempt.

The Chiefs offense showed signs of life with two big gains from wideout Donnie Avery—who surpassed 100 receiving yards before half—but they struggled in the red zone. Three first-half possessions inside the 20s resulted in three field goals, leaving Scott Kacsmar of Football Outsiders unimpressed.

Some QBs always talk about getting the ball into the hands of their playmakers. Alex Smith includes the kicker in his list of playmakers.

However, Philly's turnovers outweighed the Chiefs' struggles, as the visitors had the 16-6 lead at halftime. ESPN's Numbers Never Lie uncovered a crazy stat from the opening 30 minutes (the Eagles finished with five turnovers):

The Eagles have 4 turnovers tonight. That's more than 10 NFL teams have in two weeks.

The Eagles weren't fazed by the gut punch, as a 20-yard grab by Avant led to McCoy bursting through the Chiefs defense for 41-yard TD run that brought Philly back within a score at 23-16. The 78-yard drive took just 1:21 off the clock and left more than 11 minutes remaining.

Kansas City answered with a textbook clock-eating drive that surpassed eight minutes and 15 plays, fueled by big run after big run from Charles and timely third-down conversions from Smith. B/R's Ian Kenyon noted how displeasing the drive had to be for the Eagles' fast-paced head coach, Chip Kelly.

The pace of this drive has to be driving Chip Kelly crazy on the sideline.

The drive stalled at the Eagles' 20-yard line, allowing a Succop field goal to extend Kansas City's lead to 10 with just over three minutes left.

The Eagles needed a quick score, but turned the ball over on downs and effectively ended any chance of a comeback. They would get the ball back again just before the final whistle, but Vick fumbled to end the game with six team turnovers.

Notable Player Grades

Michael Vick, QB, Eagles: C+

Vick couldn't keep the ball away from the K.C. defense in the first half and didn't score at will like he did in Weeks 1 and 2, but still found a way to make a few of his signature splash plays.

On the night, he finished with 13-of-30 passing for 201 yards, one TD and two interceptions along with 95 rushing yards.

The fact that one of the best running quarterbacks in history notched the longest run of his career was nothing short of inspiring to watch, but it was no secret that his offense struggled to get into scoring situations.

LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles: A-

Nearly every football fan held their breath when McCoy went down, clutching his knee. And he later showed why there was so much concern: He's endlessly valuable to this team.

McCoy finished with 158 yards on 20 carries, including his 41-yard score that gave Philly a fighting chance near the end. His big day marked an Eagles franchise record, per SportsCenter:

LeSean McCoy's 395 Rush Yds are the most through 3 games in Eagles franchise history.

Other than a few short passes that turned into long gains, the Chiefs' passing attack was nonexistent. However, Smith turned it around with some big third-down conversions on the eight-minute drive that put K.C. up two scores late. Smith did finish with decent enough numbers, accumulating 273 yards on 22-of-35 passing.

Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs: B+

His stats don't pop off the page—20 carries, 92 yards and a score—like McCoy's, but Charles was masterful in moving the chains and helping put away the game late.

Charles proved he can be a dependable back to help unload pressure on Smith and allow him to do what he does best—manage the game. It also didn't hurt that he contributed seven receptions for 80 yards in the passing game.
